I like Phil Hellmuth

[plaid]

Comic gold! (Not to mention tension, drama and a pretty good lesson on folding). That was the best WSOP episode this year by far, IMHO.

That was terrible what happened. How does a guy call for all his chips with a KJ?! That was an awful call and he deserved to be berated.

x-posted to this thread since this is where we're talking about our favorite douche-bag:



I don't know if I've ever seen anyone talk back to him very much though.

I would really expect someone to respond to him with a good ol' "hey Phil. You're a jack-ass."
And I know that I would be very tempted to do just this if Phil ranted on and on about some hand that I played against him.
Why do his opponents seem to just let him go on and on without ever telling him that he's being a prick?

If I were the KJ guy, I'd put half my chips in one pile and every time I called I'd say:

"I call with Phil's chips."

Dude open-raised to 1200 with KJ, Hellmuth reraised to 3200 with AK, dude went all-in for almost 15k more, Hellmuth called, pot was around 35k.

i love how phil views poker hands thru his distorted prism of victimization. "honey did u see that maniac put in all his chips with 77" well guess what retard, u did it with aqo and im pretty sure 77 is a better hand...

Nothing against you at all, I just hate it when people say pairs are automatically 'better' than AK or other unpaired premium holdings. It's a favorite to win an all in against it, yes. Is it a better hand? Hell no. Would you call an all in with AK or 22? AK almost all the time, 22 almost never.

Phil did take some brutal beats and berated the guy more than he should have, but they are donkeys. I'm sure you all get pissed when you take a bad beat at home and are thinking to yourself "How does that *$%#&$ call off his stack with KJ!?" Get over yourselves.

Nice lay down with AK on board of A44Q...

That shrug and the I don't know if I want to bet lalala made me sick.

It seemed like Hellmuth reraised way too much with AQ. I know he wants to get the guy allin.... but you can commit less chips so if another player reraises him he can lay down.

are you serious?

Someday, Phil will realize that luck does play a part in poker. I still don't think he actually realizes this concept.
